Rear bumper frame tie-ins

I purchased and installed (after screwing around with them) this set of rockhard frame to bumper tie-ins. https://www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-2001-cj.htm
These mount on the outside portion by the body mounts. Is there any reason to think you might need another set that run on the inside of the cross member? If so, anyone know who might sell them? These do not fit on the inside pattern (needed modification to fit on the outside already). I thought that perhaps if I needed to tow my 10' enclosed trailer or 12' open trailer for short distances bracing the rear would be necessary. But do I need to brace both sides at the frame?
 
I put them on both inner and outer frame, just because more is better, right?

But I just used some 1/4" angle iron, cut to the right lengths, and drilled holes in the angle iron.
 
Here is photo of OEM for reference. There is a sleeve between frame rails too.C7961F97-44FD-4986-93AB-097B5C6ED52C.jpeg
 
There was a guy selling reproductions on eBay for awhile. I may have bought his last set as he was getting out of the fab business. Post #318 on my build thread shows a pic of one side as I was installing them.
I did sleeve them also.
